Goldstone Retracts; Arab Antisemites React



From ADL website

 The Anti-Defamation League reports that Judge Richard Goldstone's retraction of core conclusions in his notorious eponymous report has led to a flurry of antisemitic conspiracy theories in the Arab world, as seen in a number of antisemitic cartoons depicting Jews with stereotypical features and attributes.

On the left, for instance, is a cartoon that appeared on 5 April in the Gaza newspaper Filastin.  Below is one that appeared on the same day in the Jordanian newspaper Ad Dustur.

Explains the ADL's National Director, Abe Foxman:

"Just as the original report was celebrated by Arab cartoonists as ‘proof’ of the evil nature of Israel and Jews, so too has the decision by Judge Richard Goldstone to reconsider his findings inspired another round of hateful caricatures and stereotypes in the Arab Media.  Newspapers across the Arab world have responded to the Goldstone developments with a series of hideous caricatures, many of them viciously anti-Semitic."
